Pros

15% discount - bluejeans dress code

Cons

Clueless managers that skate on their duties and only worry about micro management - NO career path. - NO support from upper management. - NO hiring from within. - It's common place to see new faces frequently that show up out of now where and are suddenly on the Call Center Police Force - ( floor managers). These are external hires - and that very process alone breeds contempt for the job and results in high turnover - Thanksgiving Holiday is NOT a paid holiday - Christmas Holiday is NOT a paid holiday - Consistent payroll mistakes which impact your pay and very difficult to get resolved through management and HR

Pros

Great work environment Pay is great for retail Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule but know it's a pain Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Finding out that there's family relations just seems off putting to others. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems like a cop out The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand. Leadership doesn't seem to care about it.
